Choosing appropriate timestep for FDTD and PIC algorithms
I'm doing some particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of propagation of short pulses in plasmas with a widely used code. This code uses Yee's field solver. So, the timestep must be lower than the Courant ...

Simple particle-in-cell examples
I am studying about the 1D EM-PIC (Electro Magnetics using particle-in-cell) simulation. I want to have a simultaneous time-integration of the electric/magnetic fields plus the motion of free charges ...
